I see what you mean now Diomed (sorry it took so long (I told you I'm blond Wink)).  "Games in Progress" is not the same as "Remaining Games" because not all the games have started yet.  So the % complete is not taking into account all the games that have yet to start (in tournaments where players only play one game at a time per opponent). 

Yep, those numbers are matching.  Good job.  You've identified the source of the problem which should help the staff correct it.

"Perhaps the problem with %'s only arises when players have to play each other more than once. "                           

well, that just proves my point. or we should just call them "confuser"

Rick, in ALL tournaments, each player will play each player more than once.  However, some tournaments start both of these games at the same time (and I'm guessing (but haven't checked yet) that the % complete would be accurate in these cases) and some tournaments start the 2nd game only after the 1st game is complete (and this is where the bug lives).

yes i know,if you didn't notice i qouted my first statement above(in responce), i was referring to my previous statement :completed games+won (but ongoing games)/#of games=%complete w/c simply means the computer might hve include in its computation the games (won) thats ongoing.
